Why does RFK Jr. continue to spread the lie that the HPV vaccine causes cervical cancer when countries around the world have shown its effectiveness in preventing cancers?

Because he makes money on lawsuits filed against the HPV vaccine manufacturers.

1/
He’s already made nearly a million dollars off HPV vaccine lawsuits.

The more people he convinces to get on board with his lies, the more money he makes.

2/
The reality?

HPV vaccines have decades of data to show safety. They prevent HPV infection AND cancers.

There’s a 90% reduction in cervical cancers among women vaccinated before age 17.

Men? 50% reduction of HPV-associated cancers like penile, anal, & head and neck cancers.

3/
99% of cervical cancers
90% of anal cancers
70% of oropharyngeal cancers
75% of vaginal cancers
70% of vulvar cancers and
60% of penile cancers

Are caused by human papillomaviruses (HPVs) that you can prevent through vaccination.

4/
The vaccine PREVENTS infection, it does not eliminate an existing infection.

That’s why vaccination should be done before you're exposed to any of the included strains (these cause the majority of cancers).

That's why ALL KIDS should be vaccinated.

5/
The fact that RFK Jr. claims to care about chronic disease yet undermines a vaccine that literally prevents cancers—chronic and deadly illnesses— is beyond hypocritical.

Worse: he MAKES money off of it.

6/
If he is confirmed as HHS Secretary, he will continue to make money off those lawsuits, even while he controls federal agencies that study, develop, review, & approve vaccines.

Let me be clear: RFK Jr. has NO science & health expertise & profits by lying about these topics.

7/
He is a lawyer that preys on vulnerable people to file lawsuits that undermine scientific developments. That’s what he always has been.

And if he is given this authority, he will cause irreparable damage.

8/
The HPV vaccine is an incredible development for acute infectious disease AND chronic disease prevention.

And cancer, no less! A category of diseases RIFE with wellness disinformation.

“chronic disease” is a dog whistle by RFK Jr. & influencers who don’t understand health & science, yet profit off selling lies.

Why?

Chronic diseases are a huge umbrella of MANY health conditions.
Each have different causes, treatment options, risk factors.

1/
Cancers are chronic diseases.
Genetic disorders are chronic.
Autoimmune disorders are chronic.
Some viral infections are too.
Cardiovascular disease can be chronic.
Neurological diseases too.

lifestyle diseases can be too, which include obesity, type 2 diabetes, cirrhosis.

2/
But THEY use it to undermine legitimate scientific research & development.

They don’t actually understand the complexity of these. when they use that phrase, they are being elitist & privileged solely about obesity.

They blame individuals, suggesting obesity is their fault.

The FDA ban of red 3 has nothing to do with actual health risks & everything to do with public outrage & lobbyist money.

Adverse effects? IN RATS: after eating 4% of their weight daily for months.

That’s if a 150-lb person ate 102 GRAMS of red 3 EVERY DAY, for months.

1/
Plus: those rats have genetics predisposing them to thyroid tumors.

The average person MIGHT eat 0.2 mg per day, 7,500 TIMES LESS than rats ingested.

There is ZERO evidence that tiny levels of red 3 in foods pose risks to humans.

The claims of harm are irrelevant.

2/
Red 3 is NOT banned in Europe, Japan, or Australia.

They have a lower acceptable daily intake, but that has also been informed by public outcry.

Even at the 0.1 mg/kg/day threshold, a 150 lb person could safely eat 6.8 mg per day—well above what someone ACTUALLY ingests.

Medical conspiracism is the false belief that government & powerful “entities” lie to the public about health topics to control them & cause harm.

The most prevalent is “government & big pharma are hiding cures for cancer.”

1/
It’s wrong - and insulting to scientists like myself who spend their careers studying the complexities of cancer.

But this belief causes people to forgo proven treatments for cancers & die unnecessarily.

2/
Refusing science-based cancer treatments causes people to die unnecessarily.

Breast cancer patients? 5.7-fold increased risk of death with alternative treatments compared to conventional cancer treatments.

5-year survival plummets to 58.1% versus to 86.6%.

Calley keeps sharing this graph but doesn’t understand it.

PREVALENCE = number of people with a condition at a point in time: new AND previously diagnosed.

This graph shows more people survive & live with cancer. Because of: science.

It's important to be data driven.

1/
It ALSO isn’t normalized to 1) cancer TYPE or 2) population numbers.

We don’t present raw numbers - that’s misleading.

We present rates - prevalence and incidence as number PER 100,000 (or similar).

That ACTUALLY tells you about cancer trends.

2/
Many cancer RATES are declining because of science!

Cervical, lung, prostate, stomach, Hodgkin lymphoma, bladder, laryngeal, breast, colorectal cancers in adults over 50 are all in decline.

RFK Jr and the MAHA crew claim they’re going to address chronic disease by pausing on infectious diseases.

Do they know that:

HPV infections cause cervical cancers, anal cancers, penile cancers, throat (oropharyngeal) cancers, vaginal cancers, and vulvar cancers?

1/
Hepatitis B and C infections can cause cirrhosis, liver failure, & liver cancer?

Rheumatic fever (Strep pyogenes) can cause heart valve damage & heart failure?

Measles can cause deafness, immune amnesia, brain damage, & a fatal disorder, subacute sclerosing panencephalitis?

2/
EBV infection increases risk of autoimmune multiple sclerosis?

Whooping cough (Bordetella pertussis) can cause lung scarring & chronic respiratory disease?

Many infections cause longterm cardiovascular issues like Coxsackie virus, tuberculosis, COVID-19, & Staph aureus?

Do you say raw milk tastes better than pasteurized?

It’s fat.

Milk undergoes quality control before sale.
On top of pasteurization, that involves skimming fat.

Unprocessed milk? 3.5 - 5% fat.
Whole milk? 3.25% fat.
2%? Duh, 2%.
1%? Yup.
Skim? <0.5%.

You like the taste of fat.
Raw milk is not healthier.

Consuming raw milk is can cause infections from:
•Escherichia coli.
•Campylobacter jejuni.
•Salmonella
•Listeria monocytogenes.
•Brucella abortus.

Symptoms: diarrhea, cramping, vomiting, organ failure, Guillain-Barré syndrome, death.
Campylobacter infections are the most common cause of Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS).

Shiga-toxin producing E. coli can cause hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) and thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) - both cause uncontrolled bleeding, organ failure, and death.
